Hello y’all. I feel I haven’t blogged in a while, because, well, I haven’t. Life has been hectic, and I have been struck down with the worst flu and to make it worse, my husband who is usually quite resilient got the same thing. Maybe its the time of year, but being sick right […]

Mii Cosmetics, by Gerrard International is fast becoming a brand I’m really enjoying using – the products are effective, the prices are not outrageous and there’s some interesting pics in there. I recently tried a few items (soon to be released) including the Power Matte Lip Creme (4 shades, £18 each) and the Glitter Glam […]

So, my kiddos are currently obsessed with Disney’s Moana, which I adore because the music and animation is fantastic. They are also toying with Trolls, a Dreamworks production, which I find utterly annoying because of the lame story and average music…but you know, kids. They like what they like. That didn’t stop me from buying […]

You know you can not pay that much attention to something and then suddenly, you can’t stop noticing it? Like, a stain on the wall. Ok that’s that terrible example. But that is what I am trying to say about Pixi. Sure, the brand has been around for a long time. The brand has always […]

For a cheap and cheerful gift, how about DHC’s Beauty Bento (£13) which incorporates some of the brands’ best selling products in to a cute little bento style box: This set is great for fans of the brand, people who want to try Asian beauty products or any skincare aficionado. The products are minis but […]

It’s nearly Christmas, can you believe it? I’m afraid I’ve been snowed under with things to do but finally I have some gift selections to talk about and I hope that it helps some of you with your gifting. Today we have some Pixi Beauty. There are 3 sets that are particularly good value and […]

The thing about natural/organic skincare ranges is that the quality is so varied. Every time I have the chance to review a new mineral make up brand I am excited but also holding my breath at the same time. I even splashed out over £100 on some RMS make up and I only liked half […]

Happy Friday everyone! Today I am going to review and talk about MyShowcase – my introductory post from a year or two ago here. MyShowcase is a few things; a beauty shopping website with a real catalogue you can peruse, as well as a business you can join by inviting friends to parties where they […]

So I have finally decided to sort out my blog sale pile (it has been a while since I’ve done one) and my god, it was a real task. Tons of things thrown away that I don’t think are fit for selling, even never opened mascaras just in case, and lots of new things added…I […]

A-hallo. I have a round of some latest beauty things I (or the candy household has been testing) with some thoughts! First off, TIGI Bed Head Joyride Texturizing Powder Balm (£16.95) is a phallic looking tube with a bulbous head of clear textures wax which dries to a powdery feel. It’s a really strange product […]

Bags are a British Beauty Brand (alliteration!) with a sweet twist; their products are easy to use everyday hand bag beauty essentials. When I saw the range it reminded me of Korres in terms of elegant, earth packaging and wearable colours – I also love the concept of easy to carry and use products too […]

Today I’d like to talk about another way to shop for independent beauty brands using MyShowcase. The concept went a little over my head at first, but it’s actually very simple and quite a clever way to be introduced to new brands. MyShowcase is an online beauty store that also has a team of ‘stylists’ […]

So I told you a few posts ago about my trip to Paris…well as always, I seem to end up hauling beauty goodies even when it isn’t my intention too. I knew I would be popping into a pharmacy on my trip and probably a Sephora, but I actually found lots of lovely goodies to […]

My skin is currently really suffering in this cold-cold-mild-sunshine-warm-raining-cold again weather, and it shows because the zits are appearing and I am looking even more tired than ever. So it’s my time of the year to start pulling out the facial treatments, including masks, something that I don’t usually have time to do. I am […]

It is coming to Christmas I know this because Boots is launching their ‘Better than half price’ offers this week! From today (Friday 18th October) for one week only, the SEVETEEN Complete Collection is deducted from £35 to £17. This contains: 12 x SEVENTEEN Eyeshadows (Shades taken from Metallic Toffee Trio, Funfair, Peepshow Eye […]

Just to update you all on the exciting launch of Essence make up in the UK – the range is being launched at Wilkinsons but only at 6 stores to begin with; Castleford Sunderland Mansfield Wood Green Shopping City Victoria Plaza Shopping Centre – Southend on Sea Arundel Shopping Centre – Portsmouth Unfortunately not in […]
